...campaign. To Filipinos, insults cannot go unanswered. On a stormy, wind-whipped night shortly after Pistol Champion Ferdie Marcos had returned to Ilocos on vacation, Nalundasan rose from his dinner table and walked to a washbasin. He was starkly silhouetted in the lighted window. A single .22-cal. bullet cracked in the banana tree outside, and Nalundasan dropped dead, shot through the heart. The shadow of suspicion was heavy: Mariano had been defeated and insulted; Ferdie was the best small-arms shot in the Philippines...
...Free Speech riots not spread south to Westwood? One reason, answers Murphy, is that Berkeley has traditionally had a bigger share of student activists than U.C.L.A., and thus far more troublemaking "nonstudent hangers-on in the periphery." But Murphy is critical of the way in which Cal's administrators mishandled the disorders. "You can't substitute memos and bulletins for the courtesy of a dialogue and an explanation," he says. To preserve U.C.L.A.'s record of relative stability, Murphy makes himself easily accessible to chain-talk with students or teachers on university problems...
...Tufts fool you. The varsity teams they've fielded in the past several years have been pushovers (witness this year's mauling by Harvard, 45-0). But new coach Rocky Carzo has been brought to Medford from Cal. at Berkeley, and this year's freshman team is the product of Carzo's campaign. The Tufts varsity will get better and better in the future. Maybe the HAA will have to take them off the Crimson schedule...
With that kind of defense, plus an offense that has averaged 37 points a game, U.C.L.A. could probably bank on a return engagement in the Rose Bowl -if only it weren't for Southern Cal. U.S.C.'s Trojans are ranked No. 5. They are also itching for revenge against Prothro's Bruins. The "Battle of Los Angeles" is scheduled for Nov. 19, and 72,000 seats in cavernous (capacity: 94,750) Memorial Stadium have already been sold. After that, even the Rose Bowl may be an anticlimax...
...object that might house a nuclear weapon or pose some other threat-the U.S. has developed a highly sophisticated system of surveillance. Each object now in outer space is given its own number and meticulously tracked by radar sensors (which can follow an object as small as a .30-cal. rifle bullet 200 miles into space), computers and special cameras with a range of 50,000 miles. The North American Air Defense Command (NORAD) can tell where every object is at any given moment. Of the orbiting objects, 251 are "useful payloads"-201 American, 43 Russian, three French, two British...
